I will go before thee and unwind the snarls.
Isaiah 45:2, Free trans.
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight:
Isaiah 45:2 KJV
How tangled some of our problems do become as the days pass and no way appears by which the matter can be straightened out!
Perhaps we have been keeping the problems too much in our own hands. No wonder, then, we cannot find the beginning or the end of the line, or how to loosen the knotted strand in just the right places. A young man writing to his father about a personal problem says: ”Once again, just yesterday, I have put the whole matter in the Lord’s hands, and asked Him to guide me about it all. I often think of how I’s get my fishing line all tangled up. The more I pulled the worse it got. Finally I’d hand the whole thing over to you, and you’d smooth it all out. So I generally do that with my problems now; and I’m trying to learn not to pull at the line much, before I give it to Him.” Have you been pulling at the line in that problem that troubles you today? Just hand it over to your heavenly Father, and see how swiftly and lovingly He will untangle the crisscross and knotty impossibility that has troubled you so! Sunday School Times
With thoughtless and
Impatient hands
We tangle up
The plans
The Lord hath wrought.
And when we cry
In pain, He saith,
“Be quiet, dear,
While I untie the knot.”
What is impossible with you is perfectly possible with Him who is Almighty. May we 'walk in grace' together.
Let us find 'joy in the journey and good times in the going.'

“Walking in Grace’s” main purpose is to encourage the hearts of men and women as they walk in God’s Truth by His Grace, His unmerited, undeserved favor.
“Walking in Grace” is a collection of thoughts and scriptures.
The scriptures come from the Bible. KJV
Trust in the words of the Bible is absolute.
John 6:68-69 Then Simon Peter answered him,Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. KJV
To receive a more complete understanding of God’s Word,at times another version maybe quoted, that version will be named.
John 6:68-69 Simon Peter answered,Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words (the message) of eternal life. And we have learned to believe and trust, and [more] we have come to know [surely] that You are the Holy One of God,the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of the living God. The Amplified Bible
The thoughts come from a wide variety of sources, authors will be recognized whenever possible.
The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine,and a book of morals,and a book of religion, of especial revelation from God;but it is also a book which teaches man his own individual responsibility,his dignity, and his equality with his fellow-man.
* Daniel Webster, in an address on the completion of the Bunker Hill Monument,
June 17, 1843
Let us “Walk in Grace” together.
